I wouldn't recommend visiting the house, but if you want to find it on Google maps or something, the address is 1308 Stfford Rd.

I don't want to go visit it or anything (I live in Ohio and have no intentions on bothering the family), I just like to locate things on a map. So if anyone has any details where this house is, please let me know!</p>JustinWed, 30 Apr 2014 04:09:43 -0000Re: Is a former MTS patient haunting her home?http://mansfield.htnp.com/2010/01/30/is-a-former-mts-patient-haunting-her-home/#comment-1362017658<p>She said nothing offensive, nor was she 'attacking' anyone.<br>How about you spend your time doing something productive with your life, rather than meaninglessly pestering someone for no reason?</p>JustinWed, 30 Apr 2014 03:59:13 -0000Re: Is a former MTS patient haunting her home?http://mansfield.htnp.com/2010/01/30/is-a-former-mts-patient-haunting-her-home/#comment-1308372962<p>interesting to say the most, though my opinions vary on this topic only due to my own experiences.

I have, nor had any belief that there was any statement made directly towards anyone that is mentally-challenged nor otherwise. If so, I have my own opinions, thank you very much, and i'll keep those to myself. I'd pray for you hun, to find guidance, and a more productive calling in life than to attack these people based solely on your opinion, but i fear it would be in vane. This, is my opinion and reflection on your many comments made in various places. it's sad...smh.</p>Lisa SmithFri, 28 Mar 2014 11:40:12 -0000Re: Is a former MTS patient haunting her home?http://mansfield.htnp.com/2010/01/30/is-a-former-mts-patient-haunting-her-home/#comment-1155542320<p>The house is still having work done, updates. I drive by it weekly. It is on my rd.</p><p>I never got any strange 'feelings' about the house,which I usually pick up on.

I started in the care taking field, in community. I LOVE DRIVING THROUGH THERE&lt; JUST TO SEE &lt; HOW FAR&lt; WE NEVER GOT...SAD, but more abuse can happen ,in privacy of ones home, rather then a ward. RN"s ONLY GAVE MEDS, now we do, so many mistakes leading to serious medical, and legal issues. People out in society don't like seeing a van , and clients in community. Esp, if it's holding them up in their bank lines, grocery store registers,a movie. oh the list ,could go on. I have learned more from my disabled friends,and I have a deep respect, coupled with admiration, and of course, True, honest, pure love. I never judged anyone, and nobody judged me. I wasn't anyone with a past, or bad reputation,I was there, for them. These patients have always, repeatedly lost everyone, that they ever got close too.Starting with their parents,sisters, brother's and other family members. Yet, I was always greeted with ' their honesty ', weather or not ,it was pretty it was honest.Over and Over they allowed a new staff, a new person ,INTO their lives, homes, and hearts. I spent 20 yrs,of my life doing what I LOVED&lt; I AM BLESSED!! Most of the MTS residents, have passed on ,but not all of them. THE difference between the "new type clients" we are serving, and the MTS clients. THE new population,is coming from home, or foster homes, elderly housing projects,ect, THE DIFFERENCE IS THE AMMOUNT OF TRUE GRADIFICATION &lt; AND GENUINE of feeling &gt;&gt;&gt;tHANKs&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; THKS FOR LISTENING&gt;&gt;&gt; MADELINE BIAMONTE&lt; STORRS</p>Madeline MindyTue, 08 Oct 2013 23:02:12 -0000Re: Windham teachers respond to drop in test scoreshttp://windham.htnp.com/2013/08/20/windham-teachers-respond-to-drop-in-test-scores/#comment-1072923483<p>So says the Social Studies teacher and Union Boss Randall Prose: “We’re concerned about much more than test scores, but these latest numbers provide an urgent opportunity to ask some tough questions."</p><p>I am afraid this guy has things a bit backwards.

They let their kids run wild in the streets in the dark.</p><p>The so-called "near elimination of bilingual education" -- if I can believe that -- would be a wonderful thing for the students.

Here is the premise in a nutshell: In nature, a seed must be fertilized in a climate conducive to growth. In our economy, the seeds are unlimited entrepreneurial ideas, fertilized by capital, and the climate conducive to growth is a restrained federal government. What’s standing in the way of growth is a wall separating the people with ideas from the people with capital. This wall, our tax code, is slowing new capital formation and double-taxing any capital that does form.</p><p>Joining capital and ideas is not an anti-social act, despite what Washington would have us believe. Remember when Ronald Reagan said we must "Tear down this wall!" Well, we just added more bricks to it by increasing taxes on income, dividends, and capital gains. Congress doesn't seem to understand that government can't create wealth. It can only transfers it from one taxpayer to another (who may or may not pay taxes). Think of it like taking water from the deep end of the pool and pouring it in the shallow end.</p><p>Sequestration and other Congressional tricks only push our big government, big government spending addiction down the road. We need an intervention! We need real growth in the private sector! We don't need big government. If we increase the rate of real economic growth by only 1/10 of 1%, it is 27 times more beneficial than cutting spending by that same 1/10 of a percent of GDP. If we want things to improve in Eastern CT we need to recognize growth begins and ends with capital investment. That 1/10 of 1% growth can reduce the deficit over 10 years by $314 billion, according to Chuck Kadlek (former economic adviser to the late Rep. Jack Kemp).</p><p>Each new dollar of non-residential capital investment (equipment, machines, structures, computers, etc.) generates 46 cents more GDP each year! According to the Woodhill Equation we are about 15.6 million jobs away from full employment. I, for one, am tired of partisan politics and the blame game when it comes to this great nation. We need real leadership in Washington, with constructive ideas for solving our problems. Congressman Courtney opposed the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act of 2013 which would have increased accountability for and transparency in the federal regulatory process by requiring Congress to approve all new major regulations. This is the opposite of what we should be doing! I want to see good change from DC. Sadly, I have not seen it coming from this Congress.</p>Daria NovakSun, 04 Aug 2013 00:56:23 -0000Re: Is a former MTS patient haunting her home?http://mansfield.htnp.com/2010/01/30/is-a-former-mts-patient-haunting-her-home/#comment-939836343<p>Ive done a bit of research as I just watched the episode of "Paranormal Witness" involving this house, for starters, the "real pictures" of the house at the time of the t.v. episode, compared to a picture I viewed from 2009, The Moore Family has done an amazing job with this house's appearance. Also, at the end of the episode she offers anyone who thinks they can handle such an experience, to come on down for a visit, so I too am curious if that offer was legitimate. I also read somewhere that the banishment was successful? were the burnt remains of people ever identified or verified that it was even human?</p>John FlandersSun, 23 Jun 2013 23:29:03 -0000Re: Hundreds celebrate historic Swing Bridge centennialhttp://easthaddam.htnp.com/2013/06/16/swing-bridge-centennial-east-haddam-ct-story-and-photos/#comment-934172093<p>Great coverage Roger!

It would explain his disoriented state of mind. The EH police were contacted by a man claiming to be a co-worker that was on the phone during some of the incident. They both lied to police by not disclosing that they where having an affair. Can you say motive? Also, the incompetent EH police couldn't figure out that the gun was left in the locked position WITHOUT a shell in the chamber for safety reasons. Could it be they were trying to solidify their case to distract from the chief of police being under investigation for racism and other issues?</p><p>She told me she NEVER said he put a gun to her head and did not SEE the gun. During the argument, she said she HEARD what sounded like a shotgun being racked while he was in another room. Turns out it was his bass guitar being slammed into a stand that has a locking mechanism which sounds exactly like a shotgun racking. I've heard it and can confess to it.</p><p>This man has never been accused of any crime or domestic violence incident in his life, including the 24 years they have been together. He is an honest Christian man that married a very troubled woman with mental health issues. Amazingly, he has since forgiven her and are working on putting their life back together including getting her the help she needs. The system has failed this man.</p>klinwoodWed, 05 Dec 2012 22:17:27 -0000Re: Is a former MTS patient haunting her home?http://mansfield.htnp.com/2010/01/30/is-a-former-mts-patient-haunting-her-home/#comment-646815148<p>nothing new.
